    Was anyone else experiencing trouble with Verizon's service yesterday? It went out for a good amount of time yesterday, but I don't know what the range was. I heard people calling up on the radio to say it would be down, but I dont know what county's or state's this was limited too. Reply

    VZ defintley needs Google at this point. It's the kind of innovation and freshness the company needs. It will create the kind of buzz they need to compete with the AT&T/Apple alliance. Reply

    Verizon should worry about themselves, their EVDO is a mess at times. Calls all ok but data drops at times are every 15 minutes. Consistenly good some days, consistently bad others. And coverage outside major metros is non-existent, at least in the upper midwest. Reply

    @Rob L. I have had one of the original (Edge) iPhones for over a year now, and lately in Manhattan the Edge service has deteriorated to what you describe it. It wasn't like that over the past year though -- most of the time Edge was surprisingly fast.

    I have a feeling that AT&T's data network in NYC is absolutely overwhelmed right now -- 3G, Edge, doesn't matter. They really, really need to upgrade their infrastructure, especially in major cities.

    Verizon's campaign seems to indicate that they are feeling the impact of iPhone and AT&T. While the iPhone/AT&T combo is not flawless (3G drops, 3G/fetch battery life, app instability bug), Verizon still has no handset that competes. Reply

    I agree with Rob L. It's definitely more of an AT&T problem. I get bad reception probably half the time I talk on the phone whether it's on my wife's phone or mine. Reply

    Well, I've had my iphone (3g) now for 4 days. For whatever reason, I left the Apple store with 2.0.1. On my way home I had one dropped call. Since updating to 2.0.2 I haven't experienced any drops. The Iphone itself is awesome, there's so many cool functions and applications, however I do have to agree that the ATT service is crap (I'm coming from Verizon which I've had for the last 7 or 8 years). I'm barely able to get 3G, when I have it it's usually 1 bar which is sqaut. On Edge, even with a full signal, I can't get page loads on Safari or connect to Itunes to search apps. Edge is pretty much like having a very poor dial up connection. I'm hoping that the 3G issue is more just localized around my house as I'm on vacation this week so I haven't yet been able to test the network from my normal everyday locations. Hopefully when I'm at the shore over the next few days I'll be able to get a clear 3G signal. Other than ATT's network, I love the phone, I just wish we were free to choose the carrier.

    My new iPhone works great here in Canada (on the Rogers network). No reception issues at all. Reply

    The Infineon chipset is mature and works well on other phones. This appears to be an ATT issue. Reply

    to..user138602...free advertising? What's being advertised? A totally non-thinking comment. Blessed is he who has nothing to say and cannot be persuaded to say it. Reply

    What a joke analysts really are. I watched Bear Stearns and Countrywide get sold off cheap, yet analysts still had high target prices, ridiculous and a total waste of time.
    My tip is to live as far away from Wall Street as possible and ignor this mob.

    If you want to be successful, you have to be able to do it yourself and not rely on so called "experts" like the anal ysts. Reply
